Commitments to Our Mission
1. PRAYER
We commit ourselves to making prayer the highest priority of the church demonstrated by: teaching Every Member to become a prayer warrior for all nations.
(Isa. 56:7; Mark 11:17; Rom. 8:26; 1 Cor. 14:14, 15; I Thess. 5:17; I Tim. 2:1-4, 8; James 5:14, 15)
2. PENTECOSTAL WORSHIP
We commit ourselves to gather regularly as the local expression of the Body of Christ to participate in Pentecostal worship that exalts God, engages the heart, mind and soul, and challenges to deeper commitment and discipleship.
(John 4:24; Psalm 29:2; Rom. 12:1; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; Isa. 58; Mat. 25:31-46)
3. WORLD EVANGELIZATION
We commit ourselves to intentionally reaching the unconverted, baptizing them in water, and leading them to unite with the church.
(Mat. 9:37-38; Mat. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:13-15)
4. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We commit ourselves to identifying and developing individuals whom God has called and given leadership gifts and challenging them to become servant-leaders. We will demonstrate our commitment by:
Creating an environment in which men and women with ministry gifts are developed to serve as servant-leaders.
Equipping, empowering and releasing lay leaders to serve as ministry partners both inside and outside the local church.
Providing relevant resources and training opportunities for both clergy and members.
Encouraging Leaders to lead through vision, to communicate the vision to the congregation and to organize the body and each of its ministry groups so the vision can be realized.
(Mark 3:13-15; 2 Tim. 2:2; 2:15; 3:14-17; Eph. 4:11-13)
5. CARE
We commit ourselves to the challenge of being a church that genuinely cares for one another and for those who are lost, hurting and needy. We will demonstrate our commitment by:
Building loving, caring relationships within families, between members, and within the communities we serve.
Obeying the Care Commission of Christ in Matthew 25.
Cultivating compassion and showing mercy to the unloved, the undesirable and the unreached of our society.
Establishing in each planted church some type of outreach ministry that demonstrates our genuine concern and love for the disadvantaged or oppressed.
